Make your Older version of Windows look like Windows 7
Windows 7 is on the verge of release and the user interface in Windows 7 is one of the coolest thing. So the designer community have tried their best to port the Windows 7 themes and icon pack for other version of Windows. These will give the other Windows version a similar feel as that of Windows 7. So people who are yet to get a chance to experience Windows 7 can use these themes and icon packs on their existing Operating system and get a first hand feel of Windows 7.
Here I have selected the best of the themes and customization pack available for free. So feel free to download and use them.
Windows 7 theme for XP
This theme will no doubt convert your Windows XP machine into a Windows 7 machine. It has several features like:
The first theme with the correct Taskbar!!!
The first and the only one theme with the same caption and toolbar background image!!!
Got the show desktop button on the extreme left(though it doesn’t works)
The correct and one line systray icons.
Windows 7 theme for Vista
If there is a Windows 7 theme fr Windows XP how can Vista stay far behind. So here is the Windows 7 theme for Vista lovers. This theme is alos packed with some nice features like:
Windows 7 orb.
Fully-transparent Visual Style.
Left pane with blue and green gradient effect similar to Windows 7.
Windows 7 looks like Shell style.
Taskbar changed similar to Windows 7 Super bar.
Windows 7 complete for Windows XP SP3
This theme replaces many system and dll files of Windows XP SP3 to give some special feature to Windows XP machine.

Windows 7 font Gabriola
This font is specifically developed by Microsoft and it is available as a free font in Windows 7. It supports a wide variety of advanced open type functionality.
Windows 7 user32.dll for XP
user32.dll allows programs to implement a graphical user interface. It contains basic functions, such as window management, user input, text, etc. This hacked version of user32.dll will enable Windows XP machine to give user notification like in Windows 7.

In my opinion, Microsoft didn’t correct all the bugs in Vista, but launches Windows 7 already
Generally speaking, you need a PC not for interface or desctop theme…
Comment by Stacey Dawkins on 15 May 2009:
Great one! I use Vista myself but would love to have that Windows 7 look (especially the orb)
Comment by Sue Hutts on 16 May 2009:
Windows 7 is supposed to be Vista SP2 by all accounts – I have to say I really like Vista and after the initial driver problems I don’t see what peoples problems are – it’s way better than XP ever was.
